This surname, a variant of Turpin, was brought to the USA from Yorkshire, England, when my 4th great-grandfather immigrated in 1829. I am interested in collaborating with anyone researching Yorkshire history, particularly the "cult of Richard" which I believe is the source of the practice of giving the name Richard to the first-born son in every American generation of this family.
